--good points, but within the holographic "you", there are countless people making (apparent) genuine mistakes; so even if MMY is not among those, just cross him off the list and count the countless billions of genuine mistake particles within the holographic you that need to be rectified. Same with suffering. Forget mistakes for a minute. It's obvious MMY has medical problems which can be conceived as being errors against physical immortality. Thus, genuine suffering particles exist within the holographic you. Or, perhaps you may be refusing to accept the existence of the genuine MMY mistake particles; or are attempting to rationalize them away. That could be a mistake.
